In and Around Chau Doc
The Mekong Delta is a land of winding waterways, lush paddy fields and floating markets where life is governed by the ebb and flow of Vietnam’s most iconic river.
Culture Seekers
Chau Doc is situated on the west bank of the Bassac River. The local minority groups add colour and variety to the area, most apparent in the traditional fabrics and clothes being worn as well as the local architecture which merges the Chinese, Khmer and Hindu influences that crossed these areas at different times in history.
Action Packed
Escape modern life and discover the authentic Mekong Delta at its very best in the lush green paddy fields of Chau Doc. Cycle out along quiet dirt paths, through villages where life has changed little over the decades and past fields being worked by busy farmers and gentle water buffalo.
